  • We saw a lot today but this great statue butt at Plaça de Catalunya was a true highlight.

  • We packed a lot into our second day in Barcelona yesterday, but nothing quite matched Celestine's unbridled joy at feeding parakeets in Ciutadella Park.

  • I haven't had a chance to stop and gawk at murals much yet, but I love the painted roll up doors that are usually for shops.

  • I've been marveling at the beautiful old apartment buildings here in Barcelona. We have been visiting with Tonet's friend and her place has a great metal gate door. Just seeing the many balconies at other buildings has been a delight.

  • We arrived in Barcelona. On our way to lunch at a Filipino restaurant I spotted this Catbus Go Vegan sign.

  • We're waiting for a flight near my favorite mural at the Halifax airport, by kdpletters.

    Earlier we passed a suspended plane.

  • On the weekend I snapped a few shots of murals on Gottingen.

  • We encountered some affirmations on Gottingen today.

  • I saw Keren Ann perform 20 years ago at Halifax Jazz Fest as she toured in support of her Nolita album. That album became important to me, fitting well with the liminal point in my life when I listened to it. I've been revisiting the album this week and I still appreciate it so much.

  • This week I played through map 3 of Aquamarine, 1000 Fathoms Deep. It was fine, but I don't think the verticality worked as well as previous maps for snappy gameplay.
